Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, on Monday, asked people to light earthen lamps on August 4-5 to celebrate the historic moment of the groundbreaking ceremony of Ram Temple in Ayodhya. After reviewing the preparations at the venue, Adityanath said that containing the spread of COVID-19 remains the top priority of the government and added that PM Modi will represent all the devotees on the occasion.
“To witness this historic moment, it’s essential that we light earthen lamps at our homes on 4th & 5th August, religious leaders decorate temples, organise ‘deepotsav‘ and ‘Akhand Ramayan Path‘ at temples, and remember their ancestors who sacrificed themselves for Ram Temple,” he said.
Slamming the Congress party, Adityanath said, “…Congress should look in its past. They didn’t want that foundation stone is laid where Lord Ram was placed. They didn’t want the conclusion of the issue…They divide people on the basis of caste, religion and beliefs.”
COVID-19 main focus, says Adityanath
The UP CM stressed that the main focus of the event is on COVID-19 and added that only those who are invited should come to the venue. “All devotees want to come but PM will represent all of them,” Adityanath added.
